A beautiful, striking and iconic model from the extensive Cartier watch line. This is perhaps now the most coveted model from this storied French icon. The Panthere was launched in 1984 being blessed with a feline associated name much like its cousin the lesser known Cougar. There is a constant cat theme within the Cartier lineage, and this model was introduced in order to continue and evolve and develop that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 1914, Louis Cartier commissioned French illustrator George Barbier to draw a “Lady with a Panther”, to be later used in advertising. From this moment, the black panther, leopards, chetahs and tigers featured across both watches and jewellery for the luxury atelier. This was further reinforced after the appointment of Jeanne Toussaint. After joining Cartier in 1918, she became known as “La Panthère” for her unique style and captivating personality. By 1933 Toussaint was announced by Louis Cartier as Artistic Director of High Jewellery. From this position \"La Panthère\" maintained the appearance of feline forms and details throughout the creations of the team of artisans and artists creating the sublime and sumptuous pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis birth of this iconic model, the Panthère, saw a cushion case, riveted style bezel, quite simple and clean design, a crown guard protecting the winding crown, and distinctive five row bracelet design, and the classic deployant closure. It is simply a cat, but of another breed. These models presented the opportunity to have a chic, classy and stylish watch which was also quite sporty. The cases are thinner in profile and without a mechanical movement, they are more durable. Many of these watches were seen on the golf courses, tennis courts and beaches of the world's most elegant places in the 1980's and '90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe watch has all the details that Cartier lovers flock to the brand for – the Roman numeral dial with the hidden signature at the ten o’clock position, chemin de fer minute track, sword blued steel hands and a blue sapphire set winding crown. The “Swiss” signed dial is in excellent condition with no signs of crazing or damage from moisture or dirt, as can often be the case with these watches that can suffer from not being very tightly sealed. An unusual feature to this watch, that was only seen on The case shows no signs of polishing and is in excellent condition, with all of the stamping and unique Cartier reference numbers still visible on the case back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt has the classic opening steel deployant system which was used throughout the Cartier line at this time. This is an example of 'three row' model. This refers to the bracelet. There are three rows of solid eighteen carat yellow gold links, adn two of stainless steel. The later versions of this model had a reversed link line up, and are now more in demand and obviously contain more eighteen carat gold. \u003cspan\u003eThe \"large\" size of the Panthère de Cartier watch was first launched in 1983\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e as part of the original collection. The collection was discontinued in 2004 but revived in 2017, reintroducing various sizes, including the mini.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Panthère was introduced at a great time in Cartier's history. The houses had once again been unified. The Cartier Museum was now up and running, as was the Cartier Foundation. The business had achieved over $1 billion in sales, and this model was produced hot off the heels of the acquisition of Baume \u0026amp; Mercier and Piaget. This is a rare chance to own an unusual piece of vintage Cartier history. A rare chance to own this watch with this superb dial in the cutest size produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOverall, this is a great example of the classic Cartier icon. A model that is increasingly in demand, and very difficult to find, today.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eOriginally worn by Keith Richards and Pierce Brosnan, this easy-going (yet elevated!) piece rose in popularity in the ‘90s, spotted on the wrists of it girls eternal like Naomi Campbell to Gwyneth Paltrow. It’s now highly coveted and frequently worn by it-girls du jour like Bella Hadid, Sama and Haya Khadra, and Zendaya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe watch does not come with any Cartier paperwork. The watch has been serviced and is keeping perfect time.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cartier","offers":[{"title":"1.06299","offer_id":45955243278526,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/2617\/files\/0006-1_a6bc687e-8ec3-497a-9a82-27beb74da003.jpg?v=1769615819","url":"https:\/\/foundwell.com\/products\/two-tone-cartier-panthere-three-row","provider":"Foundwell","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
